Awwww sounds like what we are going through, we've got two who won't willingly let us handle them yet! If they fly off cage we can pick them up, if we are lucky we get a quick pet in, but it will be fun once they grow up, apples are a fab....most fruits, mine don't like corn or strawberries!! They l...

Hello, wow 4, how much fun are you gonna have!! Are they young or old? I have 3 , wish I could only have one cage, but they don't like eachother to well yet! Do you keep yours outdoors? I'm in the USA and can't do thAt, I think it would be such fun to have a big aviary outdoors to enjoy! Good luck!

amb4693

Well good luck, we have 3 new irons, got two from a breeder and waited 3 months to get them, one blue and one yellow, now my yellow is slightly a mean little bugger, he loves to lung at us and bite, so he only gets handled with a stick, I can pet him and scratch his head but not hold on my hand yet,...

amb4693

Hello, can anyone tell me what age di IRNs start molting?? I have one who is around 5 months old! And I've noticed some whole feathers on the bottom of the cage, they do have all that white fuzzy feathers on them also, I just wasn't sure how old they started this!! Help!!

amb4693

Mine are all starting to be vocal, it's not Abadan or annoying sound, it's kinda cute! It takes time for them to get there voice! Mine are like 3,4,5 months old!!!! It's fun!!!! Can't wait for that animated little voice!!

amb4693

Don't let him that close to your face, that's an accident waiting to happen, once they start chewing on facial things they won't stop, cause its fun and you reacted to him!!!!

amb4693

Well I covered them last night and they all slept till 9am and wow what a difference that made, everyone is up eating, playing, chit chatting and bathing!!! Poor babies have not been getting good night slept for 3 weeks, hopefully this will help with the getting to know us process!!
Ann

amb4693

The first couple times I covered one he dropped to the bottom of the cage and was freaking out so I uncovered him and he climbed back up to his perch to sleep, should I keep trying?

amb4693

Hello, got a question, do you guys cover your cages or not? My African grey has to be covered at night or he's crabby, now the IRNs we don't cover, yet! But they seem to be very tired all morning long, but they are young, but I feel phase they aren't getting enough sleep not being covered, they are ...

amb4693

How old is he?we have a 3month old who never makes a sound either, she's just starting to make very quiet little noises!!! I'm kinda liking the quiet! Lol

amb4693

All????? Good golly miss Molly, how many do you have???? Quincy, my CAG, loved oatmeal, every night I fed him a teaspoon or so of cooked warm oatmeal for almost a year, he loved it and stopped begging during the day! The IRNs are coming along just fine I guess, I'm just used to Quincy who came home ...

amb4693

It's all good now, just an adjust period kim, two in one cage and one is alone, how's everything with your flock of feathered friends???

amb4693

How have you gotten over the hand shyness? Mine are very hand shy, I can now after about 10 days put my hand in cage and almost touch them...they will eat apples from my hand but I have yet to hold them!!!!

amb4693

Two of them were tested and are males, they came from same. Reeder, the other we are clueless, she came from someone here locally, currently we have the males together for tine being, little greenie is alone, and youngest and can be handled!!!! Today is the day we will get the other two out and try ...

amb4693

Hello, I'm thinking our birdies are litter blu as we are calling him is the same colorings, I panicked the other morning when I got up and he looked just like your emmerson, thought he was fighting with Larry the yellow one, then got closer to the cage and the floor was wet....lol silly birds, we ha...

amb4693

amb4693

My grey could really care less, he's not bothered or disturbed by the new babies, I've discovered that the oldest, Larry the yellow boy is very aggressive and passive over the food dish, we put him and the green one together at first but he had the green one so bullied he won't come off the high per...

amb4693

amb4693

Awww I'm sorry, but perhaps it just wasn't ment to be, I had some really good progress with all the little darlings today, so am not as frustrated as yesterday and tomorrow will be even better!!! I just know it!!! They are so darn cute!!! How's the grey adjusting???

amb4693

Now today the green one is acting like he is petrified of. E, I go near the cage and he flys all o er to get away from me....these birds are little boogers for sure!!! I guess for now I will Judy enjoy them from a distance!!! Urgggg so frustrating!!!

amb4693

We actually picked him up today and he loves to be handled, so at least we have we can hold for now!!
He is weaned already, and is very easy to handle!!!

amb4693

I knew I could count on you kim for advice, so tell me, should I not try to handle them at all? Just let them warm up to me in there time? They are so darn cute I just wanna snuggle them.....thank you for reply.
Ann

amb4693

Awwwww I do love greys, my Quincy is a sweetheart, he's a bit nippy with me the one who loves him the most and feeds him but I think it's cause he'd like to be glued to me all day and as we all know that is just. It possible!!! I wish you the best with yours, when can we post pictures! Why are new p...

Hello, I responded to this question somewhere else...lol not sure where, but yes thet arrived safely, very skid dish so far but I know I need to be paitient, and I will, they don't run to the back of the cage today when I talk to them, so I feel that's a little progress! Keep the tips and suggestion...

amb4693

Hi kim, I hope they eventually sleep on a perch, yes I think they are settling just pretty good, we took them yesterday for nail and wing clipping, the night we got them, the blue one flew into my big picture window then up to the ceiling fans which thank god were not turned on, then flew all over m...
